Thanks, I'm forwarding this to the tz mailing list so that the OIC is archived. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [tz] [IANA #1173666] Time zone change - Yukon Canada Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2020 14:00:25 -0700 From: Brian Inglis <Brian.Inglis@SystematicSw.ab.ca> Reply-To: Brian.Inglis@SystematicSw.ab.ca Organization: Systematic Software To: Andrew.Smith@gov.yk.ca CC: Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>, Tim Parenti <tim@timtimeonline.com> Hi Andrew, Thanks very much for following up on those and getting back to me: I have an interest in these Canadian laws and orders and been digging on Yukon and other sites a number of times. I realize that unfortunately many of these laws and orders are short documents that could easily be missed stuck to others in files, or during scanning, and lost to posterity, or may turn up unexpectedly elsewhere at some later date. I will add this OIC to my personal archive of Canadian and Yukon tz history and pass it along to the tz maintainers who may publish it on the public repositories. -- Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis, Calgary, Alberta, Canada [PMed to maintainers as received off-list - hope you guys don't mind?

Hi Brian - Following up on this now that the dust has settles in Yukon. I have attached OIC 1980-02. My legislative colleagues have let me know that they do not have a copy of CO 1966-20 available in their records (it may be archived deep in the stacks or lost in the intervening half-century).

Be well.

Perhaps the Yukon Government representative could also help us fill a couple of holes in Yukon legislative time zone history and comments in:
